But Harvard orthopedic surgeon George Theodore, who helped conduct the Dornier study, claims that the failed studies are flawed because they used low-energy shock-wave pulses that were below the threshold needed to have a heel-healing effect, unlike the successful FDA studies that used higher energies.
Mr. BEN HOCKSEY (Engineer, Eaton Corporation): Most of the energy used in a vehicle - the reason we have big engines in vehicles is to accelerate them up to speed at a reasonable pace, and then you only use a fraction of the power when you're going down the road.
Despite the fact that Williams was one of the only companies to have reported its 2000 energy-trading revenues on the conservative basis used by financial firms (as the chart shows), its shares took a beating.
Meanwhile, a host of new regulatory initiatives and fanciful (perhaps farcical) beliefs about the market readiness of clean-energy technologies redirected capital away from where it would most productively be used to compliance and rent-seeking.

Last week, the regulator, Ofgem, published its simplification plan, which said suppliers would be forced to have no-frills tariffs, which would consist of a standing charge - fixed by the regulator - plus a unit charge for energy used.
The lime-green devices run on electromotive energy from a wind-up mechanism--thus allowing the machines to be used in areas lacking a regular power supply.
Meanwhile Rolls-Royce has sought to insulate itself from the quirks of procurement by applying its design to other industries: 80% of the gas-turbine technology used in its best-selling jet engines is the same for the energy and marine sectors.

Sugar molecules released from the broken-down shell are then absorbed and used as energy by the bacteria.
The laptops will have a low-tech independent source of energy, so they can be used in towns with little or no electric power.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in January, RCA showed off a gadget designed to harvest energy from nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, which can then be used to recharge a mobile phone.
This line of research is critical to the American energy economy, given that three-quarters of the fossil fuel used in the United States goes to powering cars and trucks, which produce one-quarter of the country's greenhouse gases.
